Core Basic Replacement Specifications

All CAT 320D engine radiators use all-aluminum construction for optimal heat dissipation, consistent with the original factory design. Two main OEM part numbers are available for different 320D sub-models, both matching the factory installation dimensions:

Standard 320D / 330D
Core Size: 36-5/8″ H × 15″ W × 4″ D
Core Structure: 4-row
Inlet / Outlet: 2″ dia — upper left / lower right
OEM: 3900060
Extended 320D FM / GC / L / LRR
Core Size: 37-3/8″ H × 16-9/16″ W × 3-1/8″ D
Core Structure: 3-row
Inlet / Outlet: 2″ dia — upper left / lower right
OEM: 3900375

All radiators for this model use wavy square-wave fins with 8 fins per inch, and smooth tubes for unobstructed coolant flow, matching the original cooling performance requirements.

Complete Cross-Reference of Related OEM Accessories

Besides the main engine radiator, the CAT 320D requires matching cooling system accessories that also have standardized OEM part numbers for replacement:

Accessory Type Applicable Models OEM Part Number Source Credibility
Radiator cap 320D/325D 245-9212 Very High
Hydraulic oil radiator (C6.4) 320D/323D Custom for 320D General
Engine oil radiator 320D2/323D2 326-7401 General
Hydraulic oil cooler (320D2) 320D2/323D2 4813475 General
Air conditioning condenser 320/323/320GC 488-6612 General

When replacing the radiator for a CAT 320D, first confirm the specific sub-model of the excavator to avoid dimension mismatch. For mixed fleets or second-hand excavators with unknown production batches, cross-verify the original part number on the radiator tank before ordering. Both original and high-quality aftermarket all-aluminum radiators are available: original parts offer a 12+ month warranty and guaranteed matching, while aftermarket options provide cost savings of 20-30% for budget-friendly replacement. Always pressure-test the new radiator before installation to avoid hidden leaks that cause post-repair downtime.

This specification and reference table aligns with current aftermarket supply data for CAT 320D, helping maintenance teams quickly select the correct parts and reduce maintenance delays.
